Sikhs And Organ Donation

[1kAuR1]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I wanted to know what the Sikh stance is on organ donation?

So far I have found out that as a Sikh you are doing a sewa by donating your organs when you die. This is said with Gurbani references.

On the other hand a Nihung Singh told me that you cannot donate organs as in your Antim Ardas/Final prayer their is mention of 'panj pootat sareer' (sorry forgot the actual term used).

I have also been asked about his and would like to know what the actual stance of Sikhi is on this.

If anybody knows can you please post.

most sikhs seem to agree that donating is good, but nobody mentions whether anything about receiving organs.

in my view, its the atma that matters. doesnt really matter what happens to u body after you die, because your dead. donate and cremate!!! :D

but yes we nihangs dont totally agree on donating

I would think offering your body to help another being would be in line with Gurmat. Besides the body is reduced to dust eventually when your last breath is taken.

I know that most nihungs are against organ donation but is it due to rehat reasons or other?

I have also heard that when your organs are taken your kesh will be cut, does kesh still have a significance after death?

If they were to operate on me today, whilst i'm alive, they would need to cut my kesh. Hell, if i need open heart surgery they'd need a Flymo to get there 1st. Sikhi is a practical religion. The soul has left the body at death, if they need to shave the area to reach my organs, i would have no problem with it at all.

there was a brahmgiani who was going 2 need a hernia operation and the doctors sed that they would hav 2 shave his hair. he said do the operation but not 2 cut his hair. the doctors agreed and didnt cut his hair. the operation was 100% successful.
